Domestic violence suspect sought by EPD

Evansville Police have asked the public’s help in finding a man wanted on a felony domestic violence warrant.

A warrant was issued for 32-year-old Quentin Carter on Monday in Vanderburgh County. Police say an officer confronted him Wednesday near Caldwell Homes on the South Side but was unable to take him into custody.

The officer spotted Carter walking near Linwood Avenue and Cross Street and stopped both Carter and the man he was with, according to the police department. The other man was detained, but the officer reported Carter moved his hands toward his midsection, as if reaching for a weapon, and walked behind a parked SUV so the officer could not see him.

Police were told that Carter might be armed with a handgun. The officer moved behind his squad car for protection and Carter allegedly ran south on Linwood to get away when the officer did not approach.

Carter is wanted on three charges of domestic battery as a level 6 felony and intimidation as a level 5 felony. Prosecutors also filed a sentence enhancement accusing him of being a habitual offender, which could add years to his sentence if he is convicted.

The other man was not publicly identified by police and it is not clear if he was accused of any crime.

Anyone with information on Carter’s location can call 911 or the anonymous WeTip hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME.
